Context
InĀ How Vector Search Scales by henry.weller@mongodb.com, a new "quantization" field is shown added the to our "vector" indexes. See below. In order for this quantization to work, will the "path" have to be a binary vector subtype? If so, I imagine that the binary values will already have to match the type specified in the quantization, right? To my knowledge, we don't have this work on our roadmap, not even for our Langchain repo.
Definition of done
This task is for the quantization option, to expose it, and create indexes with it, like so:
{ "fields": [\{ "type": "vector", "path": "plot_embedding", "numDimensions": 1536, "similarity": "cosine", "quantization": "none" | "scalar" | "binary" }] }
Pitfalls
These indexes might not be ready yet on Atlas (cloud and local.
